In 1965, at the request of the people, Rev. Raymond D’Mello, the Bishop of Allahabad, requested aid from Mother Macrina to start an educational Institution in Naini.

The land was acquired under the collective efforts of Fr Faustin Alva and by the former Bishop Dr Leonard Raymond. Raymond D’Mello entrusted the construction of the school to Fr Paul Menezes. On 12th July 1965, the School was started with 60 students from classes kindergarten to grade three with Sr Rosine as the first principal. The school acquired C.B.S.E.'s affiliation on 25 November 1975.[2] The school acquired the status of Senior Secondary on 2 April 2008 under the collective efforts of Sr Helima, the then Principal, and Sr Lyra, the then superior.[3]
The school, at present, is administrated by Bethany Educational Society, Mangalore, Karnataka,[4] a non governmental organization registered under the Societies' Registration Act XXI of 1860 No.17 of 1948-49.
